Testimonies from the Fields

“I came to know Jesus Christ through a house-to-house evangelism done in our area by Pastor Asebuque’s church. Together with his team, Pastor Asebuque challenged us to heed God’s word. They have opened a weekly Bible study in our house every Saturday. Pastor Asebuque has helped us to grow in our newfound faith by teaching the basic doctrines of the Bible. I have learned a lot from his teaching and have a desire to know more of God’s word. Though we are poor materially, the Lord has filled this empty place in our lives. He satisfies my soul causing me to desire Him more. I have become prayerful, asking God to provide all our needs. I desire to be used by God in sharing His word with the lost. I am currently sharing my faith with others and some of my relatives are coming to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray my wife and children will be faithful in coming to church with me.”

Daniel Romano is a new believer who lives in a small city called Seven Trees. He is one of the fruits of our evangelistic work. His business is the only one in that area. He is also the only one who has a vehicle. Many times he uses it as an ambulance. Daniel is a relative of Reina, a member of our church who desires to take the gospel to Seven Trees. It is wonderful to see the hand of God working in Daniel’s life. When we went to this city, Daniel gave us permission to project a movie and he also opened his home in order for us to preach the gospel. We praise God for raising up Daniel in order to make this event possible. Please pray for him and his family and for all those who will visit him.

The first time Vivian Pines attended church, she said she was blessed by the message of placing our trust and faith in God. She even tried to invite her husband, but he refused to go with her. So, she attended church regularly with her two boys. After about two months, her husband came. In the following months, he was laid off from his job. Financially, they were drained. The husband couldn’t bear the burden any longer so he left Vivian and their children. Vivian was devastated, but it did not stop her from attending church. She continually makes God her source of strength. She has since learned that her husband is living with another woman. There is nothing we can do to help other than pray for her and encourage her. By God’s grace she has overcome her troubles and has been able to find work to support her children and herself. She is faithful to the Lord and in His work. Please do include her and her children in prayer, that they will grow in the Lord.
